Humble Love
Self-Released, 2025
8/10
The Austin, Texas artist Long Prairie brings just her guitar and voice to these 12 originals that emit plenty of warmth, beauty and sincerity.
The cozy and pretty title track opens with fluid strumming and heartfelt singing, and “Sedona” follows with a timeless folk spirit that invites singing-along.
Moving into the middle, “Love Life With You” offers an emotive moment of reflection that’s relatable and touching, while “The Best Love” radiates much power amid the firm strumming and very convincing vocals.
Landing close to the end, “Memories Of You Run Through My Mind”, the album’s best, carries a poetic quality that’s cautious and memorable, and “Meteorite” exits with a sparse mood that’s stirring and soothing.
With 4 of songs having the word ‘love’ in the title, you get an idea of where Prairie’s themes are, and she delivers from the heart with emphasis on truth in a way that anyone with an interest in folk and Americana will appreciate.
Travels well with: Long Prairie- By Sunrise; Rita Bliss- Pizza And Apple Pies
